Set in war-torn 800AD Scotland, The Gaelic King tells the story of warrior-king Alpin mac Eachdach. When his young brother is captured, Alpin must hunt the kidnappers though a dark forest that hides an ancient evil.
This is not a streamlined Hollywood production. Effects are under par, acting is a little wooden sometime.
So what? It´s refreshing, it´s different, and yes, it´s funny sometimes. I think it´s a masterpiece with real people you can relate to, other than those mainstream titles with models as actors (except the sorceress, who looks like she´s out of the movies).
So, if you like your flics to be a little, again, different, this will be worth your time, if not for the sake of the scenery shown alone. I totally enjoyed it.
